This is the Karatsu ware crafted by FUJINOKI, Yotatro (藤ノ木陽太郎).

Mutation effect has appeared with fire and ashes since it was baked at special location of climbing kiln.
The white straw ash glaze is used to make milky white color in this kind of ceramic.
We call it "madara" because blue and black spots are appeared due to melting the iron and the pine ashes when it's baked.
